  1. Actually I have heard a few times now from several people how delicious Indonesian chocolate is. I tried to find some here in Germany, but to no avail. I guess it needs a trip to Indonesia or at least Southeast Asia to get some chocolate from Indonesia.

  2. I am sure this I would have definitely enjoyed. That’s such a shame that I did not get to try an Indonesian chocolate when I visited Indonesia a few times. I did not know that they were this good. I will definitely try them the next time I am there. So good to know about this as I love chocolates (who doesn’t).

  3. As committed chocoholics we look for local chocolate wherever we travel. I also did not know there were a number of good chocolates make in Indonesia. Good to know in advance that we will have to search to find it. And to get suggestions for a visit to Jakarta.

  4. I love Indonesian Chocolate and I would have to agree that it’s really good. I was able to discover it a couple of years back and it was a nice change to the usual Belgium and Swiss.

    I would also highly recommend the Malagos Chocolates from the Philippines. It’s really good.

  5. I enjoyed learning about Indonesian chocolates from your blog! What a bummer that that café in Jakarta is no longer around though. I hope the idea will be revisited. It seems like a fun way to showcase and promote locally grown and locally crafted products in a welcoming setting! I’ll definitely have to partake in the Indonesian chocolate experience next time I’m in that part of the world. Thanks!

    1. I really hope they will reopen the place. It’s just this days people are still crazy about coffee. It’s a tough competition.

  6. I’m not gonna lie, I had no idea Indonesia was known for their chocolate! I always think about places where it is manufactured, but not necessarily where it is grown. Belgium like you mentioned, is a perfect example. Tme for me to find some Indonesian chocolate!

  7. You susprised me becuse when I was in Indonesia I didnt find chocolate like that. As it happens in many countries, the best quality products go to export and local people eat a low quality. I always had a chocolate-like products not the real chocolate there 🙁

  8. I would never have thought that Indonesia made chocolate. It makes sense now. I would like to try the chilli chocolate.
    Thanks for listing where to buy the chocolate as well.

  9. Wow, I always thought that Europe was the powerhouse when it came to chocolate! Bummer that the cafe was no longer around, but how cool was it to find a variety of Indonesian chocolate? I’m honestly not a huge chocolate lover, but it would be interesting to taste and compare!

  10. OMG! That’s a lot of new information and a lot of shock!!! When I went to the chocolote musuem here in Belgium, they do not mention Indonesia, but only Africa esp., Ghana.
    That red chilli flavoured chocolate is so tempting…

    1. It shocked me, too! Now I like to check the chocolate or food with chocolate ingredients and where they came from.

  11. All of these look familiar ( recently came back from Jakarta) and all of them taste great! My personal favorite was Krakakoa. Interestingly, I also wasn’t aware that there were so many amazing chocolates that were made in Indonesia

    1. Yay! Finally, there’s someone who got to taste these chocolates. I think I shouldn’t be amazed since I know we produce cacao. I just don’t follow the news enough. 🙁

  12. Are they really awesome? I have never ever tried, but now I am really interested in trying them out. Especially the dark ones with different flavors. I am visiting Bali this April, so I am surely gonna buy there. Thanks for this.
